Before the game begins, all of your races receive a video, in it a grey being that is somewhat humanoid, with a myriad of arms, it seems to be giving a lecture, a massive holographic display shows, a capsule making a reentry, a black x goes through it, another one appears, this time the capsule is unseen, but heat is still being created, another black x goes through, the last capsule shown, may not have been there if the lecturer hadn't highlighted an area of the sky, suddenly a pod appears next to the speaker, then it crumbles into dust, in a matter of minutes. Then a display of a planet appears, a wave goes through it revealing a structure, another wave goes through and the structure disappears.

The Califreyans shrug that off and begin research on a lab.

(Just as a general reminder, it might be good to indicate who exactly made it in. Which will probably happen in the introductory post.)

[SoHowAreYou]

Well Eboor you are number 7

[Brood]

Why does the flaw you gave me suddenly seem a lot more worrying? They can make entire structures vanish and see inside planets?

[SoHowAreYou]

Nah in order to see in planets they need an earthquake, beside, you are on the vangaurd, and to them you are confined and thus contained

[mesor]

But ships exist, how are they contained?

[SoHowAreYou]

Well not all ships have ftl and you won't start with it

Anyways I am about to update the OP

[Brood]

Hmmm, I'll have to work on that then .

[Remuthra]

How is IC calculated?

[SoHowAreYou]

You generate it every turn from factories or other production buildings

Sorry guys the first turn will be on either Wensday or Thursday, but in the meantime I will be posting back story elements starting with factional relationships: Tonight the uplift client system

Some races are just born in better spots, usually the uplifting species is older, in this system they take a primitive race usually pre-industrial but not always, and in exchange for that races services begins to advance the race technically and culturally. The two main differences in these relations are as follows, post uplift, in some races they become partners forming stable federations, a rare feat, others maintain a looser alliance, some rarely interact, and some enslave the other race, though usually this last one is rare. Another big difference is the uplift criteria, some uplift everyone, others pick and choose who they want to uplift, some might pick the warlike race, others however who view uplifting as more of a personal art, may try to create strange new societies, while those who see themselves as legitimate uplifters, hate the art races their is little they can do, laws aren't easily enforceable in space even in the best of times.

So what's the progress on the first turn SoHowAreYou? Also what buildings are available right away without any research?

[SoHowAreYou]

I'll post soon, school decided to throw everything at me.

[RulerOfNothing]

How soon is 'soon'? Also I think I might start my own sci-fi strategy forum game soon (i.e. within the next 2-3 days)
